Robert Altman's use of Lindsay Lohan in this summer's A Prairie Home Companion is probably the most inspired casting in an American film this year. Saw this last night and enjoyed it immensely. If you're not a fan of Garrison Keillor you likely won't enjoy it, but I think it's a winner, a great mix of Altman's usual improvised aesthetic and GK's folksy appeal. Some of its politics are heavy-handed, but mostly it's an on-the-mark commentary on American culture's recent demise.

Huh, I wasn't really planning on checking it out, but maybe I will now!
